>>There is no good news on drug therapy for autism. Autism is a
neurological disorder caused by early abnormal brain development. No
drug, not one, has ever been found effective for treating autism
(although some drugs may be useful in treating some of the secondary
symptoms). There is treatment for autism, but no cure. The most effective
treatment that has been validated are early intervention programs and
there is some evidence, not substantiated, that dietary interventions may
also be helpful. Melatonin has been found (and there are skeptics) to
help autistic children who also have severe sleeping disorders, but this
is treatment for a secondary symptom.
